Director's comment
When Morvern's boyfriend kills himself it is a romantic gesture in search of posthumous fame. He wants his novel to be published, and for him to be remembered for his life's work. But Morvern defies all conventional expectations. She appropriates his novel and sells it as her own. She doesn't care for fame. To her this is just a pragmatic means to escape the mundanity of her life. This is for me what makes her character so contemporary.Does it matter who wrote the novel?
Is it worth more to a dead person than to someone trying to live life the best they can?
